Hi Johnny. I got the isinwheel M10 Commuter Ebike only 10 days ago. My battery is fully charged, the problem is when I turn the throttle, the motor just lurches for 1-2 seconds then stops. If I get off the bike and lift the back wheel, it works fine, but when I sit on it, the motor stops after a second. I'm only 130lbs and the specs say up to 330lbs, so its not my weight. any suggestions?

[@SmokeyDeadGames]

Hi I have a question if anyone can please help. My battery used to work fine. Now it seems to die when I still have 2 or 3 battery bars left. It used to go all the way down to one bar and blink on one before dying. Now it just dies instantly when I hit 3 bars left or 2 sometimes. Is my battery bad or what is going on? ( On the trail I ride witch is basically 100% flat for many miles. I used to get 45miles max on just battery no peddle. Now I can barely break 16miles. The battery hits 3 bars and dies instantly. Please help if anyone knows what happened. My battery is still under warranty. It's only 6 months old. ( Side note. It's not the bike. I used my gf battery in my bike and it works like mine used to. Good milage and no shut offs Until the battery reaches one bar blinking then dies.

[@JohnnyNerdOut]

Could be a bad cell to cause it to die prematurely

We bought two Lectric XPs. If yours arrives and works out of the box count yourself lucky. If it does not you'll spend a few hours underneath a brand new bike following emailed trouble shooting guides. If you fix your brand new bike you're lucky again because it's a high hurdle to get Lectric to get a new, working bike sent to you for the good money you've already paid. Things happen, we all understand that. The true measure of a company is how well it puts things on track, and makes a customer happy when things do go wrong. Lectric e-Bikes has a ways to go on this count. Be advised.

I’ve covered all the things you covered, without opening the hub I don’t think there’s a way to fix it. Appreciate the upload though because I formation on this type of bike is hard to find. Buts it’s just an 800$ pile of junk now. Brand new.

[@PluggedInNOW]

Same wtf

[@RitchieCaron]

@@PluggedInNOW One of the Anderson connectors was broken and would shut the motor down while riding. By following these steps I found it when the wire came out of the connector while unplugging it. I fixed it by using the barrel type ones that everyone claims are cheep. Those Andersons are garbage and probably the source of many problems.

[@kathryncatmur6472]

Thank you so much! My power assist and throttle weren't working this morning and this video gave me the solution I needed - The magnet on my hydraulic brakes had shifted. I screwed it back on and it worked perfectly again!

[@anton103]

You Sir, are a legend. Had my Kalkhoff booked in for what was going to be an expensive repair. Checked all connections and the head up display wasn’t quite connected properly so the motor wasn’t connected to it! All back working now thanks to watching your video and listening to your advice.

[@TomPickerell]

Johnny love your videos. I have a question on a new build with a bafang 750 mid drive. Everything seems to be working, but only for like 1 second then motor slows way down, if let off of throttle when hit I again get full power for about a second then it cuts back to barely working again. Any help would be greatly appreciated , I do have another bike with all the same parts so I will change 1 piece at a time to try and find the problem but you might have seen this before.

[@WhatDoestheFutureHold]

I bought an e-bike with the same interface about 9 months ago and recently it randomly stopped going full speed of 50km/h and only reaches a top speed of 24.5 km/h. What could have caused that and what can be done to repair it? I tried to reach the company but didn't have any success. They stated that I needed to reset the bike and gave me reset instructions that didn't work. I found a video on YT instructions for a reset which worked to reset the bike but the speed problem remains the same. Any suggestions? Thank you!

[@vincechavez7802]

I read a comment that said the problem could be faulty wiring in the battery however the bike ran perfectly for over a hundred miles before this happened.. I've been checking wires and other things and I discovered a sensor on the crank I'm guessing controls the on/off when peddling or not so my next question is should it be freely riding or should it be in some way held in place

[@TinaSwann-wz5pn]

What could be the problem when the energy bar doesn’t work? The battery is full, but the energy bar shows empty. Thank you!

[@Mase2024_]

It would help if you actually went through the respective process you’re talking about and showed how to do them.

[@ravenilcorvo3218]

Do you know when your battery has like 10% and it gives those moments when it gives energy and It's all fine but after seconds it cuts off energy so pedals make that noise... My battery is fully charged, i have changed connectors both, inside the battery and inside the racket. It goes smooth for 30m and then again it interrupts as im riding, interrupts the current and then goes well, display stays always on, only the pedal assist stop and starts in fraction of seconds, then it goes 10s and then all over again 😭 any idea?

[@davidmilitz2275]

Our Aventon Pace bikes were flooded in Ft. Myers Hurricane Ian. We rescued them the next day and washed them off. The batteries were destroyed.

[@majorbrighton]

Hi Johnny, some good advice there. Yet although I think my issue is probably simple, I found myself without options. I have a Skott-E Sub Tour, the controller displays everything except the speed indication, so I naturally check that the magnet on the back wheel is in-line and that the battery is ok. I hang up the bike to test the speed, yet still no graphic or indication with the large speed info? The controller seems to be fine, yet wonder if an internal battery in it is low on power? Apart from this I have no idea, I also checked the wires. Any tips? 🙏

[@GBPaddling]

I adjusted the brakes on mine, took up the free play on the levers with an allen key, and unwittingly activated the cut off to the motor !!!! When you pull the brake lever, it cuts power to the motor for safety, by adjusting the brakes a little too much, the cut off switch was permanently engaged. Just backed it off a little and all was fine.
